What to Do With Simple Moving Labor Complaints

Simple Moving Labor is located in Texas, but the company also offers nationwide moving services. The company promises "honesty and integrity", so you would think that are in short supply. Unfortunately, the majority of moving company complaints often don't show up in online reviews.

When dealing with stressful events, such as damaged items during a move, many people prefer to keep that information private. Usually, companies are more likely to respond to formal complaints or the possibility of a lawsuit. If you're not sure which option is right for you, DoNotPay is the easiest solution of all!

Why Do Moving Companies Have So Many Complaints?

According to the Washington Post, 13,000 negative reviews about moving companies are written each year. 10% of these companies don't even bother to answer complaints or follow up with customers! Most of these companies aren't even scam artists: they have business licenses, insurance, and have been in operation for several years! Unfortunately, many ways moving companies can take advantage of their customers, including:

  • They won't issue contracts in writing unless the customer asks
  • Written contracts have fine print that's often overlooked
  • The company collects a deposit too early without doing much work

A moving company can also claim that it wasn't responsible for damages and lost items. After all, very few people take photos of their boxes or individual items before and after the move. Renters insurance can cover most items destroyed by movers unless it was a weather-related incident. If you didn't have renters insurance before your move, don't worry. A reputable moving company will often respond to complaints, or else they could get in trouble with federal regulatory agencies.

Common Simple Labor Moving Complaints

While has a lot of satisfied customers, Reviews.io has some very recent and valid complaints:

Unprepared Workers

The majority of the company's negative reviews stem from a lack of preparation for the company's part. Customers often have to provide their tie-down straps, dollies, and other supplies for the movers.

Sometimes the company will show up with a team of workers, only to have some of them wait in the truck. According to a one-star review, one mover even got tired and left the job site! One customer had to pick up the slack of a missing worker just to complete the job on time.

Wasting Time

Many customers also say that the workers are usually slow, and sometimes appear dazed while on the job. A few reviews also claimed that the workers showed up late, yet charged the customer for a full day's work. In a few cases, this is because only one or two movers show up to complete the job. The company also apparently ignores requests from customers for a specific number of workers.

Unexpected Charges

Just last month, a user on BBB had to pay multiple extra charges after the movers arrived late. The workers promised the user would get reimbursed for $15, even though the extra charges were $110 and $124. Simple Moving Labor responded by refunding just one of the charges. Additionally, an employee marked the issue as 'Resolved' despite the customer's continued complaints!
